The aim is to analyze, from an external perspective, the relationships between the three dimensions of sustainability in universities (environmental, economic, and social), the similarities between universities, and the impact that it can have on performance. In order to carry out an empirical assessment for Spanish public universities, an index is proposed to measure sustainability through indicators for the three dimensions. The results show that there is a positive correlation among the three dimensions, but only the association between the environmental and the economic dimension is statistically significant, which evidences that there is not an integrated perspective of sustainability. Although there are no common patterns among universities, some similarities among them were found. Finally, the paper shows that the entities that integrate sustainability in their plans and activities have a positive impact on performance. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S11-17R-CEMBE info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S38-17R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/RTI2018-093483-B-I00 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 2.576 2019 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES 120 / 265 = 0.453 2019 Q2 T2 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES 53 / 123 = 0.431 2019 Q2 T2 GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 26 / 41 = 0.634 2019 Q3 T2 GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 6 / 8 = 0.75 2019 Q3 T3 0.581 2019 Energy Engineering and Power Technology 2019 Q2 Environmental Science (miscellaneous) 2019 Q2 Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment 2019 Q2 Management, Monitoring, Policy and Law 2019 Q2 Geography, Planning and Development 2019 Q2 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Brusca, Isabel Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-2897-1744 Labrador, Margarita Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-2197-0543 4002 230 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
